In large-scale tile coding, when the number of tiles is large and the tile
size is small, using a fixed number of bytes in the tile header to store
tile-data size information as done in current VP9 codec would bring high
overhead for each tile. This patch implemented 2 ways to lower that overhead
and adaptively determine the number of bytes needed for tile-data size
transmission.
The test on a test clip having the tile size of 64x64 showed that the number
of bytes used for storing tile-data size was reduced from 4 to 1, which
substantially improved the compression ratio in large-scale tile coding.

Under the experiment of CONFIG_LAST4_REF. On derflr testset, using
highbitdepth (HBD), in average PSNR,
(1) LAST2+LAST3+LAST4 obtained +0.361% against LAST2+LAST3;
(2) LAST2+LAST3+LAST4 obtained +1.567% against baesline.

Under experiment CONFIG_LAST3_REF, which can only be turned on when
the experiment of CONFIG_MULTI_REF is on, i.e. LAST3_FRAME can only
be used when LAST2_FRAME is used. CONFIG_LAST3_REF would most likely
be combined with CONFIG_MULTI_REF once the performance improvement
is further confirmed.
On the testset of derflr, using Average PSNR metrics, with HighBitDepth
(HBD) on:
(1) LAST2 HBD obtained +0.579% against base HBD;
(2) LAST2 + LAST3 HBD obtained +0.591% against LAST2 HBD;
(3) LAST2 + LAST3 HBD obtained +1.173% against base HBD.

Under the experiment CONFIG_MULTI_REF. Current version shows
LAST2 vs base in nextgen on the testset of derflr:
(1) 8-bit: Average PSNR +0.53%
(worst: students_cif: -0.247%; best: mobile_cif: 1.902%)
(2) 12-bit HBD: Average PSNR +0.63%
(worst: pamphlet_cif: -0.213%, best: mobile_cif: 2.101%)
More tuning on the reference frame context design and default
probs are being conducted. This version does not guarantee to
work with other experiments in nextgen. A separate CL will address
the working with all other experiments.

There are 4 entropy tables to select for initial entropy table,

trained with derf, yt, and stdhd sets. About 0.2% gain on
the following test sets:
derflr 0.227%
yt 0.277%
stdhd 0.233%
hevclr 0.221%

For the combination of this and removing NEWDV from the tree:

The bulk of the decline in screen content effecincy is from the liquify
clip. These should be recoverable by further entropy tweaks.

This commit allows the encoder to process tile coding per 64x64
block. The supported upper limit of tile resolution is the minimum
of frame size and 4096 in each dimension. To turn on, set
--experiment --row-tile
and compile.
It overwrite the old --tile-columns and --tile-rows configurations.
These two parameters now tell the encoder the width and height of
tile in the unit of 64x64 block. For example,
--tile-columns=1 --tile-rows=1
will make a tile contains a single 64x64 block.

We encode a empty invisible frame in front of the base layer frame to
avoid using prev_mi. Since there's a restriction for reference frame
scaling factor, we have to make it smaller and smaller gradually until
its size is 16x16.

This reverts commit 452dc21500a2339ee685cb28efbd2af1b856ea12.
This change has introduced a significant quality regression on content
with forced key frames. (e.g. the YT and yt-hd set). It is most
noticeable in static content where the kf bits dominate. Here, despite
key frames being apparently coded at the same Q, there is a drop in all
metrics of ~20% (e.g clXR and BFa0).

Move the point at which input frames are scaled
into the recode loop. This will allow us to change
the coded frame size dynamically in response
to previous attempts to encode the frame at a
higher resolution.
A following patch will implement a scheme for
resizing the frame in the recode loop.
